Terms of Service
Last updated — February 13, 2026
1. Acceptance
By accessing or using Method'IA, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you should not use the Service. We may update these Terms from time to time — continued use after a modification means you accept the revised version.
2. What Method'IA does
Method'IA is an assistive tool that uses artificial intelligence to help researchers and practitioners conduct critical appraisals of scientific literature. The platform supports a range of internationally recognized assessment methodologies and is designed to accelerate — not replace — the review process.
3. Important notice on AI-generated content
The analyses produced by Method'IA are generated by artificial intelligence and do not constitute professional scientific, medical, or clinical advice. They should never be treated as a substitute for peer review, expert consultation, or independent professional judgment.
Method'IA is an educational and decision-support tool. Every output must be reviewed and validated by a qualified human professional before being relied upon. The final responsibility for any decision made on the basis of an analysis rests entirely with the user.
AI systems can produce errors, approximations, or plausible but incorrect information. Users are responsible for cross-checking all results against the original source material.
The Service is provided "as is", without warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose. Method'IA and its developers decline all liability for inaccuracies in the generated reports and for any consequences arising from their use in clinical, academic, research, or commercial contexts.
4. Your responsibilities
You agree to verify every AI-generated output against the original source documents, to exercise your own professional judgment at all times, and not to rely solely on automated analysis for critical decisions. You also commit to using the Service lawfully, to keeping your account credentials confidential, and to refraining from uploading malicious content or attempting to reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise exploit the Service.
5. Intellectual property
The Service — including its design, features, and underlying technology — is protected by applicable intellectual property rights. You retain ownership of the documents you upload and of the analysis results you generate.
The assessment methodologies available on the platform are the property of their respective creators. Method'IA is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, nor endorsed by, any of these organizations.
6. Data processing
Documents uploaded to Method'IA are processed by AI systems for the sole purpose of providing the analysis. By using the Service, you grant us the rights necessary to carry out that processing. For details on how we handle your data, please see our Privacy Policy.
7. Availability
We aim to keep the Service available at all times, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance windows, updates, or events outside our control may cause temporary disruptions.
8. Account suspension
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account that violates these Terms or engages in conduct we reasonably consider harmful to the Service or its users.
9. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where the Service is operated. Any dispute arising from the use of Method'IA shall be resolved through the competent legal channels.
10. Contact
If you have any questions about these Terms, please reach out through the contact channels available on our website.
